With your foundation year coming to an end, it’s time to get the best protection possible for your career ahead.
When you renew with Dental Protection, you’ll receive free access to Chairsyde for a year – worth £720 & included in your membership. You’ll also get 10% off Happythreads scrubs.
First time associate = £75 £55*
Dental core training = £20*
Second foundation year = £20*
If you decide to do Dental Core Training (DCT) or a second foundation (FD) year instead, give us a call on 0800 561 9000 when your renewal documentation lands, and we’ll adjust your renewal.
*The above rates represent the average cost for a Year 2 member. If you’re providing additional procedures such as cosmetic dentistry or implantology, it’s important you let us know so we can tailor your membership accordingly.
Already a member?
Your membership will automatically roll over, so you don't need to do anything right now.
We'll take payment from the same Direct Debit details you provided last year, but if your bank details have changed since then, let us know by calling 0800 561 9000.
In June, you’ll receive your renewal documentation which will include your Year 2 subscription rate, and we’ll take payment via Direct Debit or your chosen payment method. Your membership will automatically renew onto a full-time associate dentist rate, but if this doesn’t reflect your chosen route, just let us know.
